The kids go so crazy for Harry. He’s a star for all the help he gives people.

And the laughing royal even ditched his cred to wear a pink Paddington bear-themed pinny.

The trip to Lesotho is the latest in the Prince’s travels as he enhances his profile and checks up on his charity Sentebale.

It helps support dozens of projects throughout the nation where four in 10 live below the breadline.

The home economics lesson took place at the Kananelo Centre for the Deaf, with pupils teaching Harry, 28, how to say his name in sign language.

At the school, close to the capital Maseru, he was joined by Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso who co-founded Sentebale with Harry in 2006.

The road that led to the centre was lined with dozens of children from neighbouring schools who waited in the blazing sun for a glimpse of the Prince.

The centre is one of two schools where deaf children are taught in Lesotho, where disability is seen by most as an embarrassment.

Harry last visited in 2004 during his gap year and before his Army training began.

Sentebale gives grants to the centre, funding around 70% of its running costs and has supported the school since 2008. The dashing royal got into the spirit of the baking session, accepting the garish apron with good grace.

Prince Seeiso, 46, was Harry’s guide during his gap year visit and they joked throughout the day.

On the menu were fat cakes, a kind of doughnut that is known in the local Sesotho language as makoenya.

Harry’s face lit up when a huge blue bowl filled with risen dough was lifted on to the table.

He turned to Seeiso and laughed: “Here’s one we prepared earlier.” And Seeiso then pretended to attack Harry with a rolling pin.

A source said: “The kids go so crazy for Harry.

“He’s a star for all the help he gives people.”

Harry later visited St Bernadette’s Resource Centre for the Blind, where Seeiso said: “When he first came here he was quite a young chap. Now I’ve seen a boy grow into a man.”

The Prince will now fly to Johannesburg for a fundraising dinner, hosted by FHM cover girl and TV presenter Bonang Matheba, 25.
